As Sugar Springs gears up for its all-class high school reunion, Mississippi bookstore owner Arlo Stanley prepares to launch her largest event: a book-signing with the towns legendary alum and bestselling author, Wally Harrison. Thats when Wally is discovered dead outside of Arlos front door and her best friend is questioned for the crime. When the elderly ladies of Arlos Friday Night Book Club start to investigate, Arlo has no choice but to follow behind to keep them out of trouble. Yet with Wallys reputation, the suspect list only grows longer – his betrayed wife, his disgruntled assistant, even the local man who holds a grudge from a long-ago accident. Between running interference with the book club and otherwise keeping it all together, Arlo anxiously works to get Chloe out of jail.
